I am also obsessed with maneki neko!!! My husband even commissioned an extra-chubby one hanging on a necklace for our 1st anniversary.

I swear by it. I pick different colored ones for friends who are at different stages in their lives. For example, if they need to succeed in their job, I get them the yellow one. If they need luck in relationships, I get them the pink one. If they need to study, I give them the purple. And for health, I get them the blue one! So on, so forth, hahaha. It REALLY works.

We have one at our doorway in my parents house in Singapore! Emily and I love Maneki Neko so much we chose it for our blog logo :) We figured it would bring us good luck... or at least lots of hits!

Yeah, Kinokuniya is a Japanese chain and they have outlets in both LA and SF. The SF Japantown one has a lot of cool stuff, and they even have a separate Kinokuniya stationery store there too.
